MATERIALS AND METHODSBacterial Growth and Virus Purification. C2 virus and strains of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 bearing IncC plasmids that serve as hosts were obtained from D. E. Bradley (Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada). S. typhimurium was grown in BHI medium (200 g of calf brain infusion, 250 g of beef heart infusion, and 2.5 g of disodium phosphate per liter). The bacterial growth was monitored by light-scattering measure-ments at 600 nm and/or direct counting by microscopy using a Petroff—Hauser chamber. Cells grown to a density of 108 bacteria/mL were infected with C2 virus. The multiplicities of infection were about 10-20 PFU/cell. The infected cultures were incubated at 37 C for about 16 h. The cells were removed by centrifugation, and the supernatant solution was made 1 M in NaCl and 10% in polyethylene glycol) and allowed tostand for 2—3 h at room temperature in order for the precipitate to develop (Yamamoto et al., 1970). The virus precipitate was then collected by centrifugation at16000g for 20 min and resuspended in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH7. 4). Aliquots of 1 mL were layered on 5—20% linear sucrose gradients in the same buffer and centrifuged in a Beckman SW 41 rotor at 40000g for 1.5-3 h. The gradients were drained with monitoring by ultraviolet absorption at 270 nm. The virus fractions were dialyzed against 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), and their titer and UV absorbance were determined. C2 aggregation in CsCl and KBr precluded the use of these salts for buoyant density gradient purifications, so the virus characterizedhere was subjected to additional purification based on sedimenta-tion velocity, including two rounds of pelleting differential sedimentation and a repeat sucrose gradient fractionation. Yields were approximately 2 mg of purified virus per liter of infected culture. Increased yields of virus were obtained from Escherichia coli JM109transfected with C2 dsDNA1 (Kostrikis, 1993). As originally observed by Bradley et al.(1982), we found C2 plaques on S. typhimurium to be of variable size, sometimes difficult or impossible to see. Incubation of the plates at room temperature produced the best results.
